California Governor Gavin Newsom, in an interview with The Hill, discussed the backlash he faced from fellow Democrats over his podcast featuring MAGA influencers like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. He sees this negative reaction as indicative of deeper problems within the Democratic Party, particularly its reluctance to engage with opposing perspectives. Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, emphasized the need for Democrats to learn from the successful strategies of their opponents, while also criticizing the lack of reflection within the party regarding their electoral losses in 2024.
The reaction when I had Charlie Kirk and Bannon on was exactly to me exhibit A of what I feel is wrong right now with my party: an unwillingness to even engage and platform, to listen.
Maybe we should pay attention and at least express a desire to absorb and learn from what they're doing and how successful they've been.
